Media God bothering

Donald Trump got the whole media God Bothering-thing started with his now deleted post of him dressed in white Jesus-robes… The post Media God bothering appeared first on The Spectator Australia. What to read next: This Anzac Day, I Remember John Elmhurst Price | The Digger’s Code: Anzac Day and the Vernacular of Belonging | Could a former Prime Minister help reform the Liberal Party? | Australia’s shameful silence on youth gender medicine

Trump in Jesus robes and the press corps reaches for the thesaurus like a drunk reaching for the bannister. Every editor in Christendom now has a hot take on the second coming of a man who couldn't quote a beatitude at gunpoint. The story isn't the costume — it's that a bloke in a bedsheet still owns the news cycle.
